Re: MUST SEE-MUST SHARE VIDEO: "America, Flirting With The Dark Side Of History"

I want to know how the heck it's possible that people are still asleep?!

Almost everyone I know still lives in la-la land.

Tried several times to wake them up, in varied ways. The more you tell them, the more they fight it.

^^ this ^^. I can not believe how ignorant people are. You try to tell them and they either look at you like you are nuts or they call you nuts. How in the world can people still be asleep. How in the world can people still support this government.

Wrong Side Of History (So Cold) - Daryl Hall (LFDH)

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein

REMARKABLE international response here. Thank you all. I assure you that there are vestiges of the goodness and greatness of America that are NOT prepared to go quietly into the night, so to speak. MANY of us are only a single generation removed from ancestry abroad and deeply appreciate why it was so important to fulfill a dream in the United States. If I were a naturalized U.S. Citizen, I think I might even be more enraged and disappointed, because I worked to EARN the right to be here. But regardless, I appreciate freedom and liberty and the blessings I've enjoyed in my life as a result. Our government is diabolical, materialism and greed have infected us like a virus, and "denial" HAS become a river in Egypt.

I am a naturalized American citizen, who grew up in a communist country in Europe.However, I'm LEAVING.The US has already recreated the political conditions for the repression I have left back then. The as the conditions for repression have been already created, actual repression is surely not far behind.Hopefully I'll be gone by then.I pity you. You have literally pissed your freedoms away.

At least back then and there WE knew WHO was doing it even though it was imposed upon us by the Soviet Union - but we KNEW who was the minority ethnic group running the system both in the SU, and in the country where I'm from. You Americans are (still) clueless about it.

You are also clueless about the horrors what's likely to befall upon you - if past history is a good guide and clue.

Apathetic, entitlement mentalities; Absence of fortitude and constitution; Complete lack of humility and often dignity; And blind faith in the idea of a government that gives a crap rather than the truth about their leadership. Did I miss anything?

A naturalized immigrant leaving the U.S. in fear of reliving the worst of what they left. I'm rarely speechless. I'm also sorry, and I'm pretty angry. If you stay long enough, you can make spanish your third language or add it to an existing dossier of others.

WED 16 JAN 2013 could be interesting. What, precisely, the President intends to implement as EO's will be far less newsworthy than how the Congress reacts to any action. Will Obama circumnavigate the Congress regarding the most contentious amendment to the Bill of Rights? We'll certainly know more tomorrow. It won't change anything one way or the other. The only way our slide into oblivion can be averted is if people wake up and engage. I'm afraid the Second Coming before sunrise tomorrow is more likely. Thanks for the support everyone.

DHS to 'Expand and Formalize Coordination' on Gun Control Efforts

1:09 PM, JAN 16, 2013 • BY MICHAEL WARREN

"Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Security, released a statement Wednesday saying she is "proud to support" the Obama administration's efforts to "combat gun violence in our country." Here's more from Napolitano's statement:

In the aftermath of the tragic Newtown shooting, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), together with the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the FBI have worked to identify measures that could be taken to reduce the risk of mass casualty shootings. In the coming days, DHS will expand and formalize coordination of ongoing efforts intended to prevent future mass casualty shootings, improve preparedness, and to strengthen security and resilience in schools and other potential targets. DHS will work with partners at all levels of government, to address five critical areas intended to reduce the risk of mass casualty shootings in the United States: Prevention, Protection, Response, Education, and Research/Evaluation. DHS will also work with law enforcement to refresh, expand and prioritize the implementation of nationwide public awareness efforts such as the “If You See Something, Say Something™” campaign. This is a critical issue that requires immediate attention and I look forward to supporting the President and this Administration as we move ahead."
